PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Konstantin Manison (ranked 2156 p4p, 264 weight class) and Malik Al-Khaldi (ranked 2808 p4p, 328 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Manison might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wherever I May Roam. Al-Khaldi has chosen Terror - Shot Of Reality as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
